News, came forward with a complaint suggesting I behaved inappropriately toward her,” the host wrote in his statement. “If I made her feel anything but respected, I am truly sorry. I dispute these reckless allegations and I plan to cooperate with any corporate inquiries that may result. I treat all my colleagues with kindness, dignity, and understanding, as this is a principle that’s core to who I am. Throughout my 25 years in the entertainment industry, the majority of my co-workers have been women, and I’ve endeavored to foster a positive work environment of mutual respect and courtesy, as that’s how I believe it should be. I’m distraught that anyone or any situation would call that into question. I’m proud of my workplace reputation, and believe my track record will speak for itself. I’m an advocate for women. I will continue to support their voices.”

He went on to add that the allegations have left him shaken, mentioning his longtime advocacy of women. “I’m distraught that anyone or any situation would call that into question.

I will continue to support their voices.” At the time of this writing, the exact claims of misconduct have not been reported.
